Orbit Cache Builder

Build a gravity-slingshot geocache across a hand-authored space mission.

Sign in to save this cache to your account

Free, just a username and passphrase, no email. Caches you build show up in My Caches so you can reopen and edit them without hunting for the edit link, and watch plays and wins. The same account syncs My Puzzle Texts across devices and manages your short links.

My Caches

Play your own cache before you publish it

Settings that look fair in this form can be brutal, or trivial, in the field. Finish the game yourself, start to end, on the kind of device your finders will use, and check that the difficulty, timers, hints, wording, and the final reveal all behave the way you intended. Every cache you create here comes with a play link and an edit link, so you can test it, tune it, and test it again before anyone else sees it.

Orbit Cache Builder

Choose a contiguous mission from the 50-level campaign. Finders pull back an exploration pod, use planetary gravity to curve each flight, and disable every signal jammer within the shot limit.

Mission

The campaign is five worlds of ten levels. Pick one world, the whole campaign, or your own range. Every selected level is required.

On solve, reveal
